Sapphire introduced Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards in NITRO+ and PULSE versions - all with factory overclocking

Sapphire officially introduced Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards in their signature NITRO+ and PULSE versions.
About the appearance of these new products previously reported.
Now the manufacturer has disclosed their specifications.
Radeon RX 7900 XTX NITRO+.

In both cases we are talking about factory overclocking.
Game frequency manufacturer has increased by 210 MHz, and Boost frequency - by 180 MHz.For a cut down Navi 31 GPU with 5376 cores model Radeon RX 7900 XT NITRO+ company says gaming frequency of 2220 MHz and Boost-frequency of 2560 MHz.
Thus, compared to the reference values the gain in the first case is 220 MHz, and in the second - 160 MHz.Both video cards NITRO+ series have a massive cooling system with three fans.
This is the first non-standard version of the new series of graphics cards Radeon RX 7900, in the cooling system which uses an evaporation chamber.
In this case Sapphire has applied its proprietary evaporation chamber technology Vapor-X.
In addition, new items are equipped with three cooling fans with a special shape of the blades, which can reduce the noise level by 10% compared to fans of the previous generation.
The company notes that fans can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.Video cards are equipped with ARGB-backlit, and also have RGB-connectors on boards, allowing you to synchronize their backlight with the backlight of other system components.
Lighting can be adjusted in the proprietary Sapphire TriXX.For Radeon RX 7900 XTX Sapphire specifies power consumption of 420 watts.
This is 65 watts higher than the benchmark value.
The Radeon RX 7900 XT has a power consumption value of 368W - 53W higher than the benchmark.
Both graphics cards received three 8-pin connectors each for additional power.
For both models, the manufacturer recommends to use power supply unit with power of 800 watts and more.
Both novelties are equipped with dual BIOS system.
The dimensions of Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX NITRO+ and Radeon RX 7900 XT NITRO+ graphics cards are 320 × 135.75 × 71.6 mm.
They require 3.5 free expansion slots in the PC chassis for installation.The Radeon RX 7900 XT PULSE model GPU runs at 2075 MHz in gaming mode, which is 75 MHz above the reference value.
For Boost mode the claimed value is 2450 MHz.
This is 50 MHz above the benchmark.The flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX PULSE has gaming and Boost mode frequencies of 2330 and 2525 MHz respectively.
In the first case it is 30 MHz above the benchmark and in the second case it is 25 MHz above the benchmark.PULSE series graphics cards are equipped with a simpler but also very large cooling system.
It includes three fans with a special shape of the blades.
The manufacturer notes that the fan blades with angular velocity provides two layers of downward air pressure, which along with the air pressure on the outer ring of the fan leads to an increase in downward air pressure by 44% and increased air flow by 19% for better cooling while reducing noise compared to the previous generation of fans.PULSE series graphics cards thickness is 2.7 expansion slots.
Dimensions of video cards are 313 × 133.75 × 52.67 mm.
For the senior model, the power consumption indicator of 370 W is declared, which is 15 W higher than the reference value.
The novelty has three 8-pin connectors for additional power.
The junior model has a power consumption figure of 331W, which is 16W higher than the benchmark.
The card has two 8-pin connectors for additional power.
The manufacturer recommends to use 800W power supply in both cases.
